Factor completely x^4-17x^2+16​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Snowcat [4.5K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

(x - 1) (x + 1) (x - 4) (x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

actor the following:

x^4 - 17 x^2 + 16

x^4 - 17 x^2 + 16 = (x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16:

(x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16

The factors of 16 that sum to -17 are -1 and -16. So, (x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16 = (x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 16):

(x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 16)

x^2 - 16 = x^2 - 4^2:

(x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 4^2)

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 4^2 = (x - 4) (x + 4):

(x - 4) (x + 4) (x^2 - 1)

x^2 - 1 = x^2 - 1^2:

(x^2 - 1^2) (x - 4) (x + 4)

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 1^2 = (x - 1) (x + 1):

Answer: (x - 1) (x + 1) (x - 4) (x + 4)

If h(x) = 2x4 - 4x2 - 2x, then h(3)=
Kruka [31]

Answer:

h(3)=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

sub 3 into all the positions which variable X is present

h(3) =( 2 \times 4) - (4 \times 2) - 2(3)

h(3) = 8 - 8 - 6

h(3) =  - 6

X<br> f(x) = 2x-1 -2 <br><br> Please help
Kobotan [32]

By evaluating the linear equation, we can complete the table:

x: -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |

y: -3 | -1 |  1 | 3 | 5  |

<h3>How to complete the given table?</h3>

Here we want to complete the table:

x: -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |

y:     |    |    |    |    |

To get the correspondent values in the "y" row, you just need to evaluate the linear function in the given values of x.

Here the function is:

f(x) = 2x - 1

Evaluating it we get:

f(-2) = 2*(-2) + 1 = -3

f(-1) = 2*(-1) + 1 = -1

f(0) = 2*0 + 1 = 1

f(1) = 2*1 + 1 = 3

f(2) = 2*2 + 1 = 5

Now we just put these values in their correspondent place on the table.

x: -2 | -1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |

y: -3 | -1 |  1 | 3 | 5  |

Given the point (3,4) the slope of 6, find y, when x=27
vitfil [10]

Answer:

y = 148

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we use the point-slope form of the equation of a line to find the equation of this line.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 4 = 6(x - 3)

y - 4 = 6x - 18

y = 6x - 14

Now we let x = 27 and find y.

y = 6(27) - 14

y = 162 - 14

y = 148
